The Ever Onward society is dedicated to spreading humanity as widely as possible throughout the galaxy. It is created by Conan, the Bob in Residence in Omicron2Eridani, at Will’s urging. Will’s goal is to get Bob’s family members - the descendants of Bob’s sister Andrea and her great granddaughter Julia Hendricks - safely away from FAITH’s rule. The society’s stated goal is to recruit humans to volunteer to leave their homes for a long journey to a distant, undetermined system. The passengers will be in stasis pods, so the trip will seem instantaneous to them. They will travel in the Fargo and the Bellerophon, escorted by Neil and Herschel. Will serves as advance scout, planting a Bob Seed in each system he passes. Colonies will be established in the most hospitable systems.
